Hi there
My son was diagnosed with type 1 2 weeks ago. He has done amazingly well and his dad and myself could not be more proud of him
After the initial shock and three nights crying myself to sleep holding my little boy it finally sunk in that this is what we have to do for out baby to be well.
However, I am struggling to get over how I was with him in the last week before he was diagnosed. Bedwetting got very frustrating and I used to get a little agitated after the fourth time of him wetting the bed in one night. Eating constantly I would say he couldn't have any more because he couldn't possibly still be hungry. And constantly drinking his brothers water leaving him with no drink would annoy me too.
I feel guilty for how frustrated I used to get with him and am angry with myself that I didn't realise sooner that all the symptoms added up to diabetes.
Our baby was pratically starving to death and I didn't realise, how do you get over that ? Did you get over it? It's killing me. I feel so so guilty that I didn't take him to the doctors sooner.
I'm sorry if this isn't aloud I just need some help with coming to terms with what my poor baby was going through prior to diagnosis. :'(
Thank you.
